Text in Shona: 8 Zvino Abhishai akati kuna Dhavhidhi, "Nhasi Mwari wakaisa muvengi wako pamaoko ako; naizvozvo nditendere ndimubayire pasi nepfumo kamwe chete, handingamubayi rwechipiri."
Translation of the previous text to Swahili (individual language):
8 Ndipo Abishai akamwambia Daudi, Mungu amemtia adui yako mikononi mwako leo; basi, niache nimpige kwa hilo fumo hata nchi kwa pigo moja, sitampiga mara ya pili.
